Compose a Fanfare! (free workshops)

Music Maze

Music Maze is a series of fun, creative, participatory workshops for children aged 8–11. Children do not need to play a musical instrument to take part. In this special Music Maze, we will be joined by musicians Kate Luxmore and Lekan Babalola to compose fanfares inspired by The Golden Chain, a Yoruba creation myth. Part of Flourish! BCMG’s Creative Cities project for the Birmingham 2022 Festival.

Children can work towards their Arts Award Explore through Music Maze
